This looks like an oil painting, lovely.
Personally I'm not one for effects over photos quite like this as I enjoy the natural shot of flowers..but this is a lovely one.
Wonderful shot, great colour.
You did a wonderful job with this effect, in my humble opinion, and the colors are so you and if you don't believe it, take a second look at your beautiful avie!!
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
- Hermes
This is a great idea, I love all the colors, I wonder what some of the other flower arrangements would look like with that effects? hmmm This came out great!
I love the special effects and think everyone should experiment a little more, as nothing has to be 'as taken'. Maybe the large pink flower is a bit overbright in this one, but I like the look of the violet flowers round the edge. Perhaps there's a way of keeping the effect on those and toning down the brighter flowers?
